According to media reports, the accident happened shortly before 9 am (0800 GMT) between the towns of Urda and Orgaz in the central Spanish province of Toledo.
Sources at rail network agency ADIF told local media that one high-speed train had rammed another from behind while both were heading south towards Andalusia.
